Non-volatile signals and redox mechanisms are required for the responses of Arabidopsis roots to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-24)
Soil bacteria promote plant growth and protect against environmental stresses, but the mechanisms involved remain poorly characterized, particularly when there is no direct contact between the roots and ...
Phenotypic plasticity of Monilinia spp. in response to light wavelengths: From in vitro development to virulence on nectarines
(Elsevier, 2022-05-10)
The development of brown rot in stone fruit caused by the necrotrophic fungus Monilinia spp. is influenced by many abiotic factors, such as temperature, humidity, and light. Specifically, filamentous ...
Using plant growth‑promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) to improve plant development under in vitro culture conditions
(Springer, 2022-05-05)
Plant in vitro culture techniques are highly useful to obtain signifcant amounts of true-to-type and disease-free
plant materials. One of these techniques is clonal micropropagation which consists on ...
Ferulic acid application to control growth Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica on fresh-cut apples and melon, and its effect in quality parameters
(Elsevier, 2022-01-13)
Listeria monocytogenes can grow under conditions at which fresh-cut fruit are stored, whereas Salmonella spp. has been associated with a number of outbreaks related to such products. It is therefore ...
Impact of fruit bagging and postharvest storage conditions on quality and decay of organic nectarines
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-09-08)
Abiotic factors such as light influence the physicochemical properties of fruit and may alter the response of the fruit to the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two ...
Transcriptional profiling of the terpenoid biosynthesis pathway and in vitro tests reveal putative roles of linalool and farnesal in nectarine resistance against brown rot
(Elsevier, 2022-12-06)
The most devastating fungal disease of peaches and nectarines is brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp. Among the many plant responses against biotic stress, plant terpenoids play essential protective ...
Current situation, trends and challenges for efficient and sustainable peach production
(Elsevier, 2022-01-22)
In Spain, the total surface occupied by deciduous fruit species in 2019 was 190,414 ha. Peach is the second most
important Prunus species with 77,464 ha and a production of 1,480,000 t per year. Labour ...
Ethylene and abscisic acid play a key role in modulating apple ripening after harvest and after cold-storage
(Elsevier, 2022-03-19)
An autocatalytic burst in ethylene production generally accompanies ripening of detached apple fruit. However, if apples are left to ripen attached to the tree, some cultivars, will not experience this ...
Untangling the role of ethylene beyond fruit development and ripening: A physiological and molecular perspective focused on the Monilinia-peach interaction
(Elsevier, 2022-04-14)
It is already well known that ethylene plays a crucial role in peach fruit growth and ripening, by triggering an unset of biochemical and physiological changes that finally make the fruit attractive for ...
Brown rot on stone fruit: from epidemiology studies to the development of effective control strategies
(Elsevier, 2022-04-23)
In the last years, our research has focused on the study of brown rot on stone fruit caused by Monilinia spp. in the ‘Valle del Ebro’ (Spain). The epidemiology of this disease was thoroughly investigated ...
